The Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP) in the 2023 general elections, Peter Obi was among the over 100 engers reported to have escaped plane crash at the local wing of the Murtala Mohammed International Airport on Tuesday.

Aviation sources confirmed that Obi who was in Economy Class was in the Airpeace plane with flight number P47123 when it took off from Abuja on Tuesday.

The take off was scheduled for 12:35 but it eventually took off by 12:59.
The Airpeace plane was to land 1:55 but landed 2:25 with approximately 30 minutes behind schedule, the report said.

“It’s was a nasty experience. The plane made many attempts to land but had to retreat. The engers were jolted. People were praying and casting out the devil as the plane’s destiny was uncertain.

“At a point it was as if the plane would crash on many houses,” one of the engers who does not wish to be named said.

The enger said the experience underlines the fragile nature of Nigeria and how the natural disaster could plunge the country into a major civil strive or even war.

“Nigerian Leaders need to fix the country and avoid potential causes of disasters like this, which has serious implications for national security, ”one of the engers was quoted saying.

A mother of two said she almost gave up as the plane hovered aimlessly between ascending or descending into chaos, according to the report.

“Peter Obi was in the plane. Many lost hope. We thought the plane would crash. Obi was calm and resolute. He was telling people around him to be calm that all would be well.

“We thank God we survived. No one would have believed it was an accident if the plane had crashed with Peter Obi inside, ”another enger was quoted saying.

He said while other engers were in great confusion, Peter Obi was comforting them that they should trust in God.
A businessman in the plane, Dr Benson Onuwaje was said to have summoned courage by standing up to pray for everybody telling them all would be well.

“The man Dr Onuwaje is a man of courage. He is a man of God. He rose up and started praying. He was in the first class.

” He called the name of God and assured us that we would land safely. We thank God our prayer was answered, ”Mathew Adekunle who was on the plane said.

Obi who recently donated N20million to flood victims in Niger State had been visiting some communities in Northern Nigeria after which he returned to Abuja for a scheduled political meeting.

Obi was said to have left Lagos for Abuja that afternoon for another meeting.

“We thank God we all landed safely. God protected all of us including Peter Obi, ” one of the engers was also quoted.

The take off was scheduled for 12:35 but it eventually took off by 12:59.
The Airpeace plane was to land 1:55 but landed 2:25 with approximately 30 minutes behind schedule, the report said.

Take off time: 12:59
Landing time: 2:25
Just 1hr 26mins time flight.

The flight duration range from Abuja to Lagos from taking off and landing procedures is between 1hr 10mins and 1hr 35mins depending on these 4 factors:
1. Weather conditions
2. Air traffic
3 Flight path
4. Availability of landing space.

This news seems more of a false alarm

Possibly, if that is your understanding

The many lies of Obi. Expect more in the coming months.

Amotolongbo:

No that's your understanding
It's more logical to wait for an explanation from Air Peace than to jump to such conclusions as false alarm for this kind of news that's well written with names sources

Thank God for landing the plane safely and protecting the many lives onboard, including our HE Peter Obi.
Air Peace with its many unpalatable stories.

Even me, my heart must have departed from my body during the whole process. This is one reason I hate traveling with ion, God I beg oh, don't let me die by:

1.) Plane crash
2.) Fire accident
3.) Inside water
4.) In the hands of kidnappers or terrorists or armed robbers or gunmen
5.) In a collapsed building
